A star from RuPaul's Drag Race is among the first wave of acts announced for the Isle of Wight's Ventnor Fringe.

The multi-award winning arts festival, which features gigs, comedy and performances in unusual spaces around Ventnor, is set to return in July.

Over more than a decade the event has grown from a handful of performances to hosting well over 100 different shows, each hosting performances in venues especially created for the event.

Among the performers announced so far include the acclaimed Barely Methodical Troupe’s International award-winning smash hit, BROMANCE.
